Up 1 pound probably all the sitting keeping the dog calm, from Thursday hopefully we can get back to our walks.
Randi the gain is only a blip easily sorted.
Cat well donevon your loss
Well done everyone for logging your challenges, some interesting project.
My internet seems to be back on hooray.
The next few months are going to be stressful so thank you for keeping me on target.0 -
I love our challenges. I have become so much more mindful of being kind to myself, stretching my goals, and taking better care of myself-body, mind, and spirit. I have gotten so much better at portion control and decent food choices. My big stumbling block is making time for exercise and my physical therapy homework. You would not believe how great I am at finding excuses to get out of it. It’s pathetic. So this week I am challenging myself to make time for exercise/therapy every day instead of making excuses to get out of it. I must fight my lazy nature and overcome my preference for sitting in a chair to read a book or sew or knit. This week, I WILL chart cardio every day plus do all the reps for my physical therapy homework.
How will you all challenge yourselves this week?0 -
I have made a chart and aim to tick off when I have completed an exercise, lists work for me.

I have added a challenge if some one else wanted to do one then just delete it but just wanted us to stay focused.

Thank you Ann! I think I need some kind of a check off chart for exercise too. I have trouble remembering all the things I am suposed to do for physical therapy. Why did I never think of making a chart?1
-
Found a great template for exercise online. When I googled, there were lots to choose from.

I printed a bunch so I can keep track long term. I hope to correlate my exercise time with how much weight I lose2

Thanks for the new challenge, Ann. I do meditate regularly, and I find that it helps deal with stress and anxiety. For my exercise challenge this week, I am working on learning to run with good form. I had been jogging, but I knew my method was sloppy, so this time I am trying to follow the rules. I'm not aiming for great speed or long distances; I just want to add HIIT to my walks. For me, food is always the biggest difficulty, but I'll continue to work on that.
Yesterday I found a picture that was taken at my retirement party. I was gobsmacked. I was huge. I wondered how I didn't realize how big I was, then I remembered that I avoided looking at myself in the mirror. Amazing to see how far I've come. I want to go the rest of the way!
Sleep well everyone.2 -
Randi, I am beyond impressed that you can still run!!! What an amazing blessing.
Inspired by Ann, last night I made a list of 10 things I would like to get done by the end of the month. I have already done two
Of them:
I have the cleaning rags and mopheads that have been sitting in my laundry room for three weeks in the washer.
I removed the red tablecloth, winter placemats and candlesticks from the dining room table and will dress it for Spring *kitten* soon as I decide what color tablecloth I
Want to use.
I also wrapped a wedding present for my great niece but I still need to
Run by the bank snd get some cash to go in her card.
If I do my physical therapy exercises and elliptical machine, I can check that off for today too.
I like this new life where I make lists 😂0 -
Hahaha no idea where the word kitten came from in the above post.
Teach this old English teacher to proofread😂0 -
A good but stressful day.
Finally got in the garden and removed dead wood and cut back some plants.
Had a dentist appointment which I hate but it went well.
Sorted out a pair of trousers that need altering in the leg so all ready to alter tomorrow.
I need to sort out a lot of cupboards as my son is moving back home lol
Tomorrow hopefully ollie will have his cone off so fingers crossed as its driving me mad.
I wish I could jog but my knees and ankles just play up, but we'll done you go for it Randi.
Cat glad your motivated.0 -
Has physical therapy today. I can walk without crutches or cane now. Hooray!
I just have to keep it up until my surgery date in June. I think 🤔 have 3 therapy sessions left before insurance kicks me out. Then I am on my own.
Staying on track with calories and did my elliptical today plus therapy. Good day!0 -
Great job, Cat. I'm glad that you are walking without assistance!
Ann, I hope that having your son move in works out well and that Ollie is doing well.
Spring is finally coming. We've had 2 days of temps in the 50s, and the birds are singing up a storm. House finches are building a nest near the patio. Grackles have taken over the trees. I have a row of chairs along the edge of the patio to discourage them from flying in and dropping fecal sacs on our patio as they have done for the past 2 years. I love birds, but that was truly disgusting.
We had to go to the DMV today. We had a reservation for 9:45, got there a few minutes early, and were out the door by 10:06. I think it was the best DMV experience I've ever had.
I ran, walked, did leg weights, did ab work, and yoga. I stayed within my calorie limit. I'm still working on getting the last of the water down.
Have a good night!0 -
Keeping under my calories so far.
Meditation , breathing going well.

Friday again. Spending the day with the grandgirl and it is going to be 70 degrees. WOOHOO!!!! I can walk now and this is a PLAYGROUND DAY 😊
Two things I learned with practicing mindfulness this week:
1- I am very bad at meditation. My mind will NOT be still.
2- The effort of meditation alone helps keep me focused on mindful eating and exercise
Effort.
Tomorrow the geezer group at church has an outing to a fancy restaurant. I pulled up the online menu and planned what I will order to stay on track. My Hokie girls are playing TN in the Sweet Sixteen and I will be a TV cheerleader. I have candy onion sets to plant in the garden. Going to be a great day!1 -
I had a good day, and hope that both of you did as well!0
-
Cat sounds like a great day planned. I agree I find meditation hard my brain just bounces around to much to focus but I do keep trying.
Randi - Glad you had a good day.
I am a bit worried about my son moving back home and we will have to watch what we say around my grandson as his mum uses any excuse to try to get sole access of him since they split up but it's hard with having my other grandkids here to as they say things and he repeats them. Oh well I suppose I will survive somehow.
Have a great day folks.

Ann, praying for your situation with the son moving back in. Our youngest had to move in with us with his wife and 2 year old for three months while they waited on their rental to be available. It wasnt easy since we were used to a quiet, clean house and everyone had to make major adjustments. We got through it just fine. You will too. You are going to be a real blessing to your son and his child.0

I posted a challenge for next week.
I dont think it was my turn, so I hope it’s okay. Please join in with more challenges if you feel inclined. I am committed to seeing those scales move down and I will try to meet them all.0 -
Good luck, Ann, with the changes you are dealing with. I love my daughters dearly, but I would find it difficult to have them move back home. And they don't have spouses, exes, or children. Take time for yourself and make sure that your needs are taken care of.
Cat, I am up for eating fruits and veggies!
Have a good night!0 -
Calories okay.
No exercise.
Tomorrow is another day 😊0 -
Stayed the same. Serves me right for taking the day off yesterday. At least it wasnt a gain, right???
Pulling for my buddies to see those numbers drop.0 -
Down 1.9. Dare I hope that my plateau is finally coming to an end?

Congrats Randi!! What jumped you out of the hump?0
-
I had banana, pear, cucumber, avocado and lima beans.
A little heavy on the fruit side but five servings0
